The Art Theater of Davis is a new community theater group, dedicated to staging modern classics. Our first two productions were Chekhov's Three Sisters and Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler. The 2014-15 season kicked off with the witty Noel Coward comedy "Hay Fever" in November, and will be followed with dark historical drama "Egmont" in March 2015. To get involved, please contact the Art Theater by email at arttheaterofdavis@gmail.com, or through the magic of Facebook.

Audition for Egmont! Art Theater of Davis is currently prepping for a production of a new translation of Goethe's Egmont. This is a new translation from the German, done especially for the Art Theater of Davis by Adam Siegel.

Auditions for Egmont will be held at the Third Space building on Saturday, December 13th, 2014 from 2-6pm.

ATD is also currently seeking a volunteer stage manager, as well as anyone else interested in helping out with set construction & painting, costuming, lights & sound, and other fun tasks. If you are interested in helping, please contact the Art Theater by email at arttheaterofdavis@gmail.com, or through Facebook.
